Keith Richards answers a fan question about James Burton ("The master of the Telecaster.") Posted on Keith's website (Ask Keith) around 2004: www.keithrichar... (I do not own any copyrights)
It was good to hear some years back that they put up a statue of James in Shreveport outside the building that housed the Louisiana Hayride. There was already an Elvis statue there.
It's very difficult to play like guitarist James Burton, he has a unique style, firstly he listened a lot to the old guys, then he put everything together and made the perfect dish...he's a phenomenal guy, the bassist and the drummer, and James Burton was the backbone of the band. Brazil band 🇧🇷
To get an idea of James Burton's mastery check out the extended basket of guitar solos near the end of "Pretty Woman" in "Roy Orbison: a Black & White Night". When the other guys play next to Burton, sh*t, they might as well sound like me.
Eu a primeira vez que ouvi Elvis in person..falei comigo isso é que eu queria ouvir..tênlho três telecaster inclusive a original personalizada 3 captadores ..brasil
I gotta disagree with Keith here. As far as I'm concerned Danny Gatton is the master of the telecaster. But then again, Mr.Gatton was the master of all kinds of guitars.
